Conjunctions Part 1
- 2. What is a Conjunction? A conjunction is like glue. It helps words to stick together.
- 3. There are 3 types of conjunctions • Coordinating conjunctions • Correlative conjunctions • Subordinating conjunctions
- 4. Let’s discuss the 1st type: Coordinating Conjunctions
- 5. There are 7 Coordinating Conjunctions Use FANBOYS to remember! for and nor but or yet so
- 6. Coordinating conjunctions connect words. word + conjunction + word
- 7. Example: I went to the store to buy eggs and milk for the cake recipe. What words are being joined together by “and”? +
- 8. Coordinating conjunctions can also join 2 prepositional phrases. prepositional phrase + prepositional phrase
- 9. Subject + verb + prep. phrase + conj. + prep. phrase. I went skiing down the hill and past the trees. What are the 2 prepositional phrases? (See the next slide for the answer.) +
- 10. Subject + verb + prep. phrase + conj. + prep. phrase. I went skiing down the hill and past the trees. What are the 2 prepositional phrases? +
- 11. Coordinating conjunctions can also connect 2 simple sentences (clauses). simple sentence + conj. + simple sentence (clause) (clause)
- 12. Example: I played cards with my friend, but I kept losing. What are the 2 sentences that were joined?
- 13. I played cards with my friend, but I kept losing. What are the 2 sentences that were joined? “I played cards with my friend.” “I kept losing.”
- 14. The next few slides have example sentences. Notice that some have commas, and some don’t.
- 15. • “And” connects things that are alike or joined together. • Ex. I want popcorn and pizza.
- 16. • “But” is used to connect things that are different or separated. • Ex. I want popcorn but not pizza.
- 17. • “Or” is used to offer a choice. • Ex. Do I want popcorn or pizza?
- 18. • “Nor” is used to offer a negative choice. • Ex. I do not want popcorn nor pizza.
- 19. • “Yet” is used to show a contrast. • Ex. I want popcorn, yet I also want pizza.
- 20. • “So” is used to show a cause and effect relationship. • Ex. I want popcorn, so I made some.
- 21. • “For” is also used to show a cause and effect relationship between things. It is a very formal way of speaking. • Ex. I ordered a pizza, for I was hungry.
- 22. Did you notice the commas? Why did some have them, and some didn’t?
- 23. Answer: The sentences that had a comma were 2 complete sentences that were joined, so their conjunction needed a comma. sentence + , + conjunction + sentence
- 24. The following conjunction doesn’t need a comma because the part that comes after the conjunction is not a complete sentence. We drove past a buffalo and several deer in Yellowstone. No comma!
- 25. This conjunction DOES need a comma, however, because the part that comes after the conjunction is a complete sentence. We drove past a buffalo, and we saw several deer in Yellowstone. Comma!
- 26. Now, it’s time for you to practice. On a separate sheet of paper, join the given sentences with a correlative conjunction.
- 27. Use FANBOYS to remember the coordinating conjunctions! for and nor but or yet so
- 28. You might need to use a comma!
- 29. 1. I love to bowl. I rarely do it.
- 30. 1. I love to bowl. I rarely do it. I love to bowl, but I rarely do it. I love to bowl, yet I rarely do it.
- 31. 2. I have a meeting to get to. I have to go now.
- 32. 2. I have a meeting to get to. I have to go now. I have a meeting to get to, so I have to go now.
- 33. 3. I don’t like bananas. I do like banana bread.
- 34. 3. I don’t like bananas. I do like banana bread. I don’t like bananas, yet I do like banana bread. I don’t like bananas, but I do like banana bread.
- 35. 4. I fed the dogs. I watered the plants. I did both things.
- 36. 4. I fed the dogs. I watered the plants. I did both things. I fed the dogs and watered the plants. I fed the dogs, and I watered the plants. Why does only 1 of the sentences need a comma?
- 37. 5. We can go to the movies. We can go bowling. We have to choose one of these things.
- 38. 5. We can go to the movies. We can go bowling. We have to choose one of these things. We can go to the movies or go bowling. We can go to the movies, or we can go bowling. Why does only 1 of the sentences need a comma?
- 39. Test your skills with the following Galileo practice: Note: There are 19 of them. Don’t try to do all of them on one day. You may skip some once the concept is mastered.

- #37: Answer: It doesn’t need a comma because the 2nd clause is not a complete sentence by itself.
